Kota Kinabalu flooded with stray dogs, cats: YB
The local authorities have  insufficient places or pounds for stray dogs to be settled on a long-term period and therefore had to follow the law “put to sleep” or destroy stray dogs after 14 days without being claimed. Left pic Jannie Lasimbang.
Kota Kinabalu: The increasing number of non-neutered pets in our community has resulted in a growing population of strays. 

“This affects the overall well-being of animals and the quality of life for our residents,” said Kapayan Assemblywoman Jannie Lasimbang.

She said unneutered pets could contribute to overpopulation, leading to a higher number of abandoned and neglected animals, ultimately creating challenges for the community.
